Quality early music experience

"I have attended many Musica Antigua de Albuquerque concerts. This CD captures the flavor of their live performances. The singing is strong, the instruments sound great, and there is a good balance between instrumental and vocal performances. The liner notes,just like their concert programs, are chock-full of useful information and translated lyrics. This and their previous CD: A Rose of Such Virtue, are excellent samplers of early music."
The best "Trotto" I've ever heard.

"The arrangement of "Trotto" is worth the price of the entire CD. "Trotto" is a
very popular piece in early music, but no one has ever done it with such drama
and power. Over all, the material is less varied and to me a little less interesting than their other album "A Rose of Swych Virtu", but this is still some
of the best early music recorded."
